The event, held as part of the annual Usk Festival for the third year, saw the children, aged between one and five years old, take part in a teddy bear hunt around the grounds of the castle on Wednesday.

The youngsters brought their teddies along and had the chance to send them on a tandem parachute jump with an expert teddy bear off the castle’s North Tower.

All the children, along with parents and grandparents also enjoyed a picnic and many other activities.

Organiser, Meirion Howells said: “The children absolutely adored it and it was nice to see so many take part.”

She added: “The weather could not have been better and it was a wonderful day.”
